About this title

Synopsis

2020 Mom's Choice Gold Award Winner

"Quirky and playful...instructional and enjoyable.... In the vein of the great cautionary tales, from writers like Hilaire Belloc to Roald Dahl, How Fred the Snake Got Squished, and Mended uses witty illustrations and multi-layered language to hide an important message within a wildly entertaining story." -The Children's Book Review

Fred came from a steamy forest spot,

where even winter days are hot.

The home of hairy beasts that go oink-oink,

and drop things on your head, boink-boink.

Fred the Snake knows all about jungle life, but the busy city streets are a different story! When Fred spots a spinning barber pole across the road, he forgets to look both ways before slithering into traffic. In an instant, poor Fred is squished clean in two by a speeding ambulance!

Rushed to the hospital on a makeshift stretcher, Fred fears he may never be the same again. The doctors are ready to help, but they need a rare bendy thread only found deep in the jungle beneath the watchful feet of enormous rhinos. Can the fearless Jungle Jim retrieve the special thread in time to save Fred?

Filled with playful rhymes, laugh-out-loud humor, and vibrant illustrations, When Fred the Snake Got Squished, and Mended is a wildly entertaining adventure with an important lesson about road safety woven throughout.

"...a book which is going to be picked up time and time again because it's so well written and...very playful..." -The Bookbag, Top Ten Self-Published Books 2021

"This amusing story is wonderfully written in rhyming narrative verse, full of British style, wit and charm.... Move over for 'Fred-Fred, ' Lewis Carroll!" -Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch

"...a perfect selection for story time and...most highly recommended." -Readers' Favorite
